LED front/rear turn signals, reverse, cornering lights? - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Just wondering if anyone has swapped out the front/rear turn signals, reverse and/or cornering lights with LED ones? Just wondering how difficult it would actually be and if anyone could recommend a good source. Thanks in advance!

Fronts, no they are a part of the light but side markers yes. Bimmian has a great pair of LED clear or smoked that are plug and play with no codes. And the rears are also a part of the light. Good luck.

Are you not able to just change the bulbs to LED ones?

PapaB · 12-06-2012, 07:06 PM

I'm sure you could. I just wanted the smoke.

so does anyone know where I could get them?

I've always believed the car would complain thinking they (LED's without some sort of resistor combined with them) are burnt out normal bulbs.

Most cars will give a "fast" turn signal trying to tell you there's a bulb out, I can only imagine what the 1-er will do.

These are CANBUS compliant from MyLitCo.

This is what my stealth LED bulbs look like.
